| | Subscriber | Join Date: Dec-04 Location: Somewhere near Brisbane | | | Yes that's what I like, the more obscure snakes that we don't get to see much of like the Flowerpot snake and the Crab Eating snake. People have to realise these programmes are made for the whole world. Quote:

The blind island tigers were just the icing on the cake as far as i was concerned...I cant get enough of this stuff and i hope someone will pick up where David has left off..

I too was dissappointed there weren't more. Surely they didn't come all the way to Australia to film 1 snake. Perhpas they could have tailored the content to the country it was being shown in and skewed it in their favour a bit.
Enjoyable none the less.

They film the whole series over a period of a few months and do all the footage for all the shows when in each region.
Maybe it is just better to appreciate all the animals we don't have on the door step rather than watching a programme just to see what we see all the time anyway.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-07 Location: Northern Beaches, Sydney Age/Gender: 29  | | | | That Rock Python splitting its sides while eating the antelope!!! That was bizarre to watch.
Also a it disappointed there weren't more Aussie snakes, but some of the species were amazing. it's incredible to see how well adapted they are to their environments...
Sir David Attenborough is such a passionate man - that's pretty brave for an 80ish yo man to get sprayed in the face by that poison-spitting snake!

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Dec-04 Location: Melbs Age/Gender: 22 | | | Loved the show, actually managed to catch the entire program this time lol and it was well worth the watch.
Incredible footage especially on some of the less reknowned species like the Queen Snake, and the blind snakes (have always wondered what it would look like to watch one of those eat hehe was awesome!).
And yes, of course the African Rock Python is always a joy to watch whilst feeding
Other highlights for me included the xrayed egg eating snake and the beautiful king snakes, can't wait for next week!

|  | Maccie Queen Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Gender: | | | | I agree with you Boa, we were in absolute AWE at the snakes on that ep. It was amazing to see the species in other countries!! There are other doco's on Aussie snakes and we have so much access to info on them that it would have not been the same had it been more focused on Aussie snakes!
We loved seeing the crab eating snake and wow that Rock python.... I was almost crying watching the Tigers getting their eyes pecked out!
It was an unbelievable ep, even if it had no aussie snakes in it whatsoever! AND the footage was juat AMAZING!!!
Can't wait for the next ep now!

Isn't it better to see a snake you have never heard of or doing something incredible like ripping the legs off of a crab and eating them ?
